Obamanomics Chickens are Coming Home to Roost

Noriel Roubini is predicting a double-dip recession. That means we’re only in Round 1 of the worst recession since the Great Depression. He’s usually right about these things. Lucky us!

The president, who allegedly champions the downtrodden and homeless, signed a stimulus bill which included hundreds of thousands of dollars on useless sex studies. It looks like all that’s being stimulated are the, er,  subjects of the studies – including rats!

Among the most titillating grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health are studies that would:

* Examine “barriers to correct condom use” at Indiana University, at a cost of $221,000.

* Study “hookups” among adolescents at Syracuse University. Study’s cost: $219,000.

* Evaluate “drug use as a sex enhancer” in an analysis of “high-risk community sex networks” at the University of Illinois, Chicago. That study will cost $123,000.

* Study how methamphetamine, thought to produce an “insatiable need” for sex among users, “enhances the motivation for female rat sexual behavior.” Some $28,000 has been awarded for the University of Maryland at Baltimore study.

Meanwhile, Dear Leader’s new neighborhood is seeing a sharp increase in homeless Americans, including veterans.

In the past year, family homelessness has increased at least 15 percent in Washington, partly because of the rising cost of living and the economic downturn. Young women with children looking for places to live overwhelm city services.

“Indications are that homelessness is going up,” said Nan Roman, the president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. “Largely it’s because of increased unemployment, housing costs and poverty.”

But not to worry, it’s not all bad. Lobbyists are doing very well in Washington, DC this year. Well, bully for them!

Oh yes, change we can believe in.

    I’ve seen reports of some tent cities springing up as well… Brace for impact!

    Maybe we should pay for health care the same way we pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
